    Variable Cost Fixed Cost

    The cost of soil/clay is Rs. 1000 for 200 cubic foot. (including transportation) Cost of per labor per day is Rs. 225 Cost of a firing man is Rs. 225 per batch of bricks The cost of coal is Rs. 3000 per batch of bricks

    Depreciation of dies and trolleys. Depreciation of grinding and coal crushing machine. Depreciation of the kiln. Rent/lease of land. Salary of supervisor and other administrative staffs.

    Financials(2/3)
    1400 bricks are made from 200 cubic foot soil/clay In one day 2 labors can make 1000 green bricks One batch is of 3000 bricks In one day 4 firing men are required for firing Fresh bricks are sold at Rs 4200 Rs 5700 per 1000 bricks depending upon the quality

    Financials(3/3)
    Cost per 1000 bricks
    Rs. 715 for soil (Rs1000/1400)*1000 Rs. 450 for 2 labors for making green bricks. Rs. 1000 for coal (Rs3000/ 3000)*1000 Rs. 300 for firing crew ((Rs225*4)/3000)*1000 Rs. 200 for shifting, assorting and arranging bricks.

It Has No Roof And Can Only Be Used Outside The Monsoon Season. Vertical Shaft Kiln Invented China 1958 Reasonably Fuel Efficient However The Kiln Is Limited Due To A Low Throughput.

    Bulls Trench Kiln


    Advantages Disadvantages

    More fuel efficiency compared to periodic kilns Low initial investment High capacity

    Production rigid to market fluctuations Experienced firing crew Moveable chimneys have a short working life Less optimum firing conditions
